You only must make sure you load the drivers. I think you need at least that one for your usb controller (usb-uhci on most systems), mousedev and hid. Load them with modprobe and restart X. The XFree configuration itself seems to be fine. /Maybe/ the standard installation kernel 2.2.20-idepci don't have the drivers, but in that case you can install another one, like the 2.4.18 installation kernel: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-bf1.4 There are more kernel packages that may be more suitable for your system, use apt-cache search kernel-image and apt-cache show to get more info. You might want to get the nvidia driver from nvidia.com instead of the vesa driver if you want 3D acceleration. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
